The Mens Team:

The selection procedure is as follows:
Points will be allocated to players relative to their finishing gross position against the other Island Games hopefuls.

In 18 hole competitions 7 pts for highest finishing position, 6 pts for second highest, etc... lowest finisher of the seven players will recieve 1 point. For Major competitions the points are 1st: 11pts, 2nd: 9pts, 3rd: 7pts, 4th 6pts, 5th: 4pts, 6th: 3pts, 7th: 2pts.

In an event should two or more players have identical scores the points will be split e.g. in an 18 hole event two players tied for 1st would receive 6.5 pts each. Note: There will be no countbacks on back nine.

If not all competitors compete in an event points will be awarded as normal e.g. 5 competitors in an 18 hole event - 1st 7pts, 2nd 6pts, ... 5th 3pts; the two competitors who did not play would split the remaining balance of the points e.g. they would both receive 1.5 pts.

In the event of a tie, the number of top places will decide (no preferance given to 36 hole events over an 18 hole event). If this still results in a tie then the number of second then third, etc... places will be used to decide the final four players.

Each players points total (and final ranking) will be made up from their best eight scores from the eleven events.
